My name is Art and I'm 20 years old I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. I bought my first Mercedes and it's a 1991 190e 2.6 with a 5-speed manual transmission. I bought it today for $1100. The car has 150k and clean title. I bought it from San Jose, Ca and since its so hot, the previous owner never replaced the heater core so she sold it to me with a busted heater core. She had new tires and a new clutch put in within the last year. She sold it because her son failed his driving test and was moving away to college. The interior is pretty good. This is the first German car I ever owned and I gotta say, it sure beats the Japanese cars I had before. I had a Toyota MR2 Turbo and a Civic SI and they both can't be compared to this car. It's solid, smooth, comfortable, but it picks up when I floor it on the highway. After I'm done with college, I'm not buying anything but German cars.
